Jack of Shadows
by Roger Zelazny
This is one of my favorite works of Zelazny's.
RZ troubles the reader with a protagonist who not only isn't heroic, he's not particularly likable.
Jack, called Jack of Shadows and Shadowjack, is a night-sider. On a planet that turns so that one side always faces the sun, magic rules on the night side of the planet, and technology on the day side.
Jack is a thief without peer, and lord of shadows. Any time his name is spoken in shadow, he knows it. He can use them for travel and concealment. He has powerful enemies on both sides of the world.
Jack becomes the unwitting instrument of change in this novel. He uncovers the secrets of the planet's strange rotation, the nightsiders' multiple lives, and his own great horde of enemies.
